Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Roberto was amazing. Provided so much background information and fun facts about Zurich. The tour was the perfect amount of time on the bus while also allowing the opportunity to explore a bit. When on the ferry boat, make sure to get off the bus and go to the top deck of the ferry for spectacular views!
Excellent tour and...
